Definitions

  • This invention relates to the cooling dead plate mechanism found on glass forming machines commonly termed or known as "I.S.” machines.
  • I.S. machines now are made with as many as 10 sections mounted side by side and each section is provided with a cooling dead plate.
  • the dead plate for each machine is generally in substantially abutting relationship to a single conveyor common to all of the machines and running adjacent each of the sections.
  • the conveyor may be a moving belt-type conveyor, with the structure of the conveyor such that it has sidewalls serving as supports for the belt. It was found convenient to close the bottom of these sidewalls and thus provide an elongated, in effect, manifold for air under pressure with the air then being conveniently available to each of the dead plate mechanisms by providing openings in the bottom of the conveyor structure and corresponding openings in a horizontal leg of the casting which will carry the air from the conveyor support to the dead plates. It has become common to make the casting for the dead plate and its connections to the conveyor bottom as a single overall casting which is bolted to the bottom of the conveyor.
  • the air coming from the conveyor support may be at a pressure of 25 lbs./sq./in. and the individual openings in the bottom of the conveyor support may be four equal-size rectangular openings of about 11/2 inches by 3 inches. Each opening is in registry with complementary openings formed in the mating surface of the horizontal leg of the dead plate casting.
  • a method of and apparatus for reducing the noise resulting from cooling air at the dead plate of a glass forming machine where air under pressure flowing from a conveyor channel through a compartmented casting is admitted through a perforate dead plate, with means provided in the compartmented casting for reducing the turbulence of air flowing therethrough.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the general arrangement of the invention in conjunction with one independent section of a forming machine and the machine conveyor;
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the dead plate casting with the perforate top plate removed;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken at line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the apparatus of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the apparatus of FIG. 2 with one wall broken away from viewing the interior thereof;
  • FIG. 6 is a noise level vs. slide damper setting diagram for several conditions.
  • a machine conveyor generally designated 10.
  • the conveyor 10 has a moving belt 11 moving in the direction of the arrow thereon, with the belt being supported by a plate 9 carried by a pair of sidewalls 12 and 13.
  • the bottom area between the sidewalls is closed by a plate 14 so that, in effect, the machine conveyor 10 becomes a manifold or tunnel extending beneath the conveyor belt for its full length, or at least to the extent that it is adjacent each of the take-out stations on the I.S. forming machine.
  • Adjacent each take-out station it being understood that the drawing illustrates merely one of a plurality of stations, the plate 14 has four openings 15, 16, 17 and 18 of a generally rectangular configuration.
  • a generally L-shaped casting 19 has its lower leg 20 extending beneath the conveyor 10.
  • the leg 20 has generally rectangular openings 21, 22, 23 and 24 formed therein which underlie and register with the openings 15-18 formed in the bottom plate 14 of conveyor 10.
  • the walls 25, in conjunction with an outer wall 28, provides a passageway extending to the bottom of the casting. This passageway turns 90°, as well as does the wall 25, at a point above the bottom of the casting to form a generally horizontal channel 29 through which air may flow.
  • the openings 22 and 21 in the top of the leg 20 extend vertically downward to essentially the same level as defined by a horizontal wall 33.
  • the wall 33 also serves as the top of the passageway or channel 31.
  • the wall 27 is vertical and divides the space beneath the two openings 21 and 22 into two rectangular chambers which extend to the wall 33. The chambers both open to the left, as viewed in FIGS. 2 and 4.
  • the wall 27 is shaped to gradually turn from the vertical to the horizontal at a point 36.
  • a pair of passages 34 and 35 whose entrances are rectangular, with the major axes vertical, will have their major axes turned 90° such that they will be essentially horizontal and these passages 34 and 35 communicate with a pair of passages 37 and 38 which extend vertically upward to just below a suitable cover plate 39 positioned over the vertical leg of the L-shaped casting 19.
  • the machine conveyor generally designated 10 with its sidewalls 12 and 13 along with a bottom wall 40, is embraced within the height and length of the L-shaped casting 19.
  • a pair of dampers 41 and 42 in the form of generally flat plates are slideably positioned so as to close off the selected portion of the openings 21 and 24 as desired.
  • the passages 30 and 32 which are below the passages 34 and 35, also turn through 90° and extend upwardly in the vertical leg of the L-shaped casting 19 and at their upper ends define passages 43 and 44, as best seen in FIG. 2.
  • laminar flow-directing members 45 Extending downwardly within the passages 37, 38, 43 and 44 are laminar flow-directing members 45 having a generally vertical honeycomb configuration, there being a member 45 in each of the passages 37, 38, 43 and 44.
  • the laminar flow-directing members 45 have a cross-sectional configuration in the form of open hexagons, as can best be seen in FIG. 2, and extend downwardly forming vertical channels which are parallel to the direction of flow of the air with their lower ends cut at approximately a 45° angle adjacent a point where the passages bend at right angles into horizontal passages.
  • These laminar flow-directing members 45 are made of aluminum material and are sold under the trade name HEXCEL.
  • This material is sold by the Hexcel Corporation in at least two sizes where the hexagons are 3/8ths of an inch and 1/4 inch in diameter.
  • the same material is used to make members 46 which extend vertically downward through the openings or passages 24 and 23. Similary, but in a slightly different configuration, members 47 extend downwardly and are cut at an angle, as best shown in FIG. 4, within the openings or passages 21 and 22.
  • laminar flow of the cooling air is produced by the honeycomb material 45 with the hexagonal cross-section material extending parallel to the direction of air flow within the upper passages and material 46 and 47 within the lower passages. Inducing laminar flow in these two areas has the effect of deadening the sound produced by air flowing through the passages.
  • FIG. 6 which is a sound level v. damper setting for several conditions of acoustic treatments, illustrates the effect of using the HEXCEL material.
  • the air being delivered to the machine section at the time was measured at about 25.5 inches of water pressure.
  • the noise measurements were first taken without any HEXCEL material and then were taken with 1/4 inch of 3/8ths inch honeycomb HEXCEL material in the top only and the bottom only of the dead plate casting 19.
  • a second set of readings was taken with the two sizes of material in both the top and bottom areas of the casting 19.
  • Note also that the degree of opening of the dampers 41 and 42 is also a factor in the measurements.
  • a standard transite pad was used on the top, it being understood that the transite pad has a plurality of holes drilled therethrough in a pattern which is selected with regard to particular shapes and sizes of ware being produced by the machine section.
  • the background noise level was measured prior to turning on the cooling air and was found to be 85.7 dbA.
  • the corrected average readings are those that have been used to form the graph shown in FIG. 6.
